you may have sorted it by now.

if its the foam bolster thats gone, take one off a golf passenger seat down the scrap yards, chances are there will be a golf driver, gti or a scirroco that will have the bolster, if the material is not damaged you can easily lift the cover off and insert the new bolster either that or pack the hole in the bolster with foam, and tap this with a fabric tape, although this wont be a lasting fix. scarpyards charge peanuts for bolsters. ?2 i was charged.

You can seperate the set back from the base, if you can find a passenger one the same fabric as yours in good nick from a 5 door, just swap it in.  If you have a 3 door you can make a cut in the side and fit the latch, all seats have the til mech inside regardless of 3/5 door fitment.  Or not bother and make the passenger get out to let people in the back ;)
